    The panel presentation, facilitated by Pat Lowrie, senior diversity consultant to PVM, included discussion of such topics as career aspirations, preparation for leadership, the importance of inclusion, challenges and pitfalls, and perceptions of mentoring, coaching, and sponsorship of junior faculty. Following the presentation, the panelists joined the attendees in groups that collectively developed initial strategies for identifying necessary resources and or assets that would help facilitate a successful leadership career trajectory. At the closing, the panel members reconvened to offer their final reflections about preparing for and aspiring to leadership roles. Those insights included, \u201cbe open to opportunities,\u201d \u201ccreate inclusive team support,\u201d \u201cbe prepared to make the hard decision and remember, no one is perfect,\u201d and, \u201cenjoy the successes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This year\u2019s event was the 11th<\/sup> Annual Faculty Women\u2019s Luncheon, which Dr. Craig describes as an important, proactive approach to equipping more women on the PVM faculty for leadership roles. \u201cOur college\u2019s Diversity Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan emphasizes the importance of intentionality, and that dynamic is reflected in this annual opportunity for women on our faculty to gain insights about preparing for leadership positions,\u201d Dr. Craig said. \u201cIt is not enough for us to just talk about wanting to see more women in academic leadership. We must take the initiative to support and equip those who have that desire in their heart, and encourage them as they pursue that path. This luncheon is one of the ways we can make a difference in that regard, and I appreciate Dean Reed\u2019s leadership and support for this effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
